2015 Tuscany & Bordeaux Red Horizontal

“Barrel Sample. This wine is spicy, ripe and gently textured. With hints of stalkiness, the black currant fruits are light and crisp with a squeeze of blackberry juice coming through. It is more about fruit than structure. (RV)” (01/2016)

“The 2015 Haut-Beauséjour has turned out beautifully. Wild and powerful in the glass, the 2015 exudes energy in all of its dimensions. There is a wildness to the 2015 that is compelling. Specifically, the Haut-Beauséjour has a level of aromatic nuance and detail that distinguishes it from so many wines of the vintage. Tobacco, earthiness, smoke, gravel and incense add character to this mid-weight yet potent wine. There is more than enough complexity to reward a decade plus of very fine drinking. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot. (AG)” (12/2017)

“Quite a savory and light wine for St.-Estephe, this is rather easy to enjoy now. Don’t worry though — there are some of the typical dry tannins for this appellation on the finish. Drink or hold.” (02/2018)

“Intense black cherry and sage with sweet tobacco on the nose. Medium-to full-bodied with loads of fruit, yet it tightens at the end with refined, lightly chewy tannins that give form and energy. January 2022 release.” (07/2021)
